A courtesan who secretly controls flame; A baby that eats soil; A professor tasked with proving the masculinity of a national hero; A quest to create a kite that reaches the stars. Philippine Speculative Fiction Volume 1 is the first of several anthologies that showcases the rich variety of Philippine literature. Between these covers, you will find magic realism next to science fiction, traditional fantasy beside slipstream, and imaginary worlds rubbing shoulders with alternate Philippine history-demonstrating that the literature of the fantastic is alive and well in the Philippines.
